hmowday Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Having moved to Logic 9 from Sonar (Windows), there is something that perplexes me. Its probably me, but can anyone shed any light on this. If I am using a Virtual Instrument in Logic and Freeze it or "stop" it. Does logic free up the memory, or does it still use the memory of the plugin? I am having memory issues on my MBP and freezing a synth doesn't seem to resolve it.

Eriksimon Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Freezing does not free up memory, because the synth in question has to be available as soon as you unfreeze the track. Especially with bigger sampled instruments (Grand Piano's) it makes sense that everything stays in RAM. so you don't have to wait precious seconds/minutes to edit the track after "thawing" it. Freezing is meant to free up CPU, not RAM. To free up RAM you can use Bounce in Place, and delete the original track. This will free up the RAM the instrument on the original track used. In LP 9.1.3.

Jope Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 (...) Freezing is meant to free up CPU, not RAM. Exactly. I think a frozen track can be even more memory intensive especially for pure (non-sample based) synthesizers because parts of the audio track produced by freezing might be kept in the working memory.

Actually I have been a member for over two years, just never got around to posting here.
